Selective Hoards throughout Missouri have been instructed to immediately begin reclassification of married men without children for military service, induction of some to begin In December.In issuing the order to Local Hoards, Col. Claude C. Earp, State Director, instructed the reopening first by sequence of order number the cases of married men without children who are not engaged in the War Effort Program. Local Hoards will then proceed to reclassify married men (without children) who are employed in the War Effort Program."We believe we have enough single men to take care of our calls up to and including Novem ber," Col. Earp's instructions stat ed, 't'with some left over for the December call. It looks to us as though it will be necessary to induct some men with wives in December." Married men reclassified to I-A under the order will not be inducted until substantially all single men in the state-wide pool are called Col. Earp said. Some Boards are out of single men now, remaining single men in most other Boards will be inducted in Oct-tober and November. Even in December, a few Boards will have some single men left who will be sent with the initial group of married men. "In reclassifying such registrants, you shall apply actual support a6 defined in Part III of Selective Service Local Board Release No. 123 as the sole basis for continuing deferment in Class III-A or III-B," instructions to Local Boards read. "You must give consideration to Class II-A and II-B (occupational) deferment in the case of each registrant who is not continued in Class III-A or III-B. If they are not entitled to Class II-A or II-B deferment, then they should he placed in Class I-A after rough screening physieial examination."

Car Tin's Must, Re Turned III Ilrforo Ottilia- Can Get Gas Ration Card Those extra tires you have been keeping for a rainy day, or perhaps to help out. your neighbor, are for Uncle Sam and no one else. Such is the ruling under a memorandum from the OPA received this week by county tire rationing boards. One of the questions the OPA said it frequently was asked was "Can I sell or give my idle tires to a neighbor?" The answer is: "No. All usable tires are now 'frozen'. Usable idle tires held by a consumer can be sold or given only to the government under the idle tire purchase plan." The memorandum explained that the rubber shortage is serious and the government must have tires right now to ration for essential use. National gasoline rationing starts Nov. 22, and if you or any memberrs of your household has more than five tires per passenger car after Nov. 22, you will be denied the privilege of using gasoline in any passenger car you own, the OPA said. The government does not want your spare tire, just the idle tires you may possess. An idle tire as defined by the OPA is any new or used passenger type tire (even if it needs repair) in excess of tires mounted on running wheels plus one spare per motor vehicle. Tires that are beyond repair are also idle tires, but should be sold to a scrap dealer. A further ruling of the OPA is that automobiles are essential. The purpose of the plan is not to take cars oil the road, but to keep all cars on the road for essential driving. You can keep your five best tires and sell the rest to the government. If vou you need tires later the govern- j ment will do its best to get you j some, You will not be refused gaso- I line because you possess idle ! liort talks on their experiences j tubes, but they, too, are urgently!"1 attending other Rotary clubs, needed. The government will buy all usable tubes that are offered. The gasoline refusal does not ap-j ply to idle truck-type tires of tubes, but the government will welcome the otter of idle ones. Idle passenger type tires must he turned in, even if thy had been set aside for use on trucks if the owner applies for a passenger car gas ration card. You may keep tires actually mounted on running wheels of trailers and similar equipment, but you are not entitled to spare tires for such equipment.

Selective Hoards throughout Missouri have been instructed to immediately begin reclassification of married men without children for military service, induction of some to begin In December.In issuing the order to Local Hoards, Col. Claude C. Earp, State Director, instructed the reopening first by sequence of order number the cases of married men without children who are not engaged in the War Effort Program. Local Hoards will then proceed to reclassify married men (without children) who are employed in the War Effort Program."We believe we have enough single men to take care of our calls up to and including Novem ber," Col. Earp's instructions stat ed, 't'with some left over for the December call. It looks to us as though it will be necessary to induct some men with wives in December." Married men reclassified to I-A under the order will not be inducted until substantially all single men in the state-wide pool are called Col. Earp said. Some Boards are out of single men now, remaining single men in most other Boards will be inducted in Oct-tober and November. Even in December, a few Boards will have some single men left who will be sent with the initial group of married men. "In reclassifying such registrants, you shall apply actual support a6 defined in Part III of Selective Service Local Board Release No. 123 as the sole basis for continuing deferment in Class III-A or III-B," instructions to Local Boards read. "You must give consideration to Class II-A and II-B (occupational) deferment in the case of each registrant who is not continued in Class III-A or III-B. If they are not entitled to Class II-A or II-B deferment, then they should he placed in Class I-A after rough screening physieial examination."

Car Tin's Must, Re Turned III Ilrforo Ottilia- Can Get Gas Ration Card Those extra tires you have been keeping for a rainy day, or perhaps to help out. your neighbor, are for Uncle Sam and no one else. Such is the ruling under a memorandum from the OPA received this week by county tire rationing boards. One of the questions the OPA said it frequently was asked was "Can I sell or give my idle tires to a neighbor?" The answer is: "No. All usable tires are now 'frozen'. Usable idle tires held by a consumer can be sold or given only to the government under the idle tire purchase plan." The memorandum explained that the rubber shortage is serious and the government must have tires right now to ration for essential use. National gasoline rationing starts Nov. 22, and if you or any memberrs of your household has more than five tires per passenger car after Nov. 22, you will be denied the privilege of using gasoline in any passenger car you own, the OPA said. The government does not want your spare tire, just the idle tires you may possess. An idle tire as defined by the OPA is any new or used passenger type tire (even if it needs repair) in excess of tires mounted on running wheels plus one spare per motor vehicle. Tires that are beyond repair are also idle tires, but should be sold to a scrap dealer. A further ruling of the OPA is that automobiles are essential. The purpose of the plan is not to take cars oil the road, but to keep all cars on the road for essential driving. You can keep your five best tires and sell the rest to the government. If vou you need tires later the govern- j ment will do its best to get you j some, You will not be refused gaso- I line because you possess idle ! liort talks on their experiences j tubes, but they, too, are urgently!"1 attending other Rotary clubs, needed. The government will buy all usable tubes that are offered. The gasoline refusal does not ap-j ply to idle truck-type tires of tubes, but the government will welcome the otter of idle ones. Idle passenger type tires must he turned in, even if thy had been set aside for use on trucks if the owner applies for a passenger car gas ration card. You may keep tires actually mounted on running wheels of trailers and similar equipment, but you are not entitled to spare tires for such equipment.
